The Remedy is the Experience.<3

What it is yO! Geeeeezzz! It’s been way too long since I’ve written a blog! Sorry for not keeping all of you dude and dudetts updated, some of the subject might be a month old but I’m still gonna post up whatever I haven’t talked about yet in this xanga, have fun reading it! It’s Spring Break 2006 and school is not in session. Today was finally the first day I was able to sleep in during spring break and it’s gonna be my last because I got work to go to, studying to do, and volleyball games to play. I got to sleep in till 12:30 pm today, yay for me! =] How’s everyone doing!?!?  So the past month and a half I’ve been really busy with school and all. It’s been tough with school but it’s been fun. Can you believe it? School is almost over! Time fly’s when you’re having fun! Stress has been coming along in & out throughout the month, the strictness level is still high but has gone down just a little bit, but besides from that I am having a blast in high school. It’s good to be an upperclassmen, you feel me? Haha. ;) Life is good, can be better, but I’ll just make the best out of it. =] Enjoy…

The city…yay area!
San Francisco shopping is the best! So yeah in the beginning of March…a bunch of us went to Frisco and we took the damn bart up there! It was fun…and yes, I did take lots of pictures! We went prom shopping…but I didn’t buy anything for prom, considering that I already had gotten my dress and my heels. Although I did buy me some new flats from gap, flats from H & M, and a top from Forever 21! Every single girl in the world should at least go to the three stories F21 before they die! Haha. I swear it was freaking huge, when I went in I was in awe! I loved it; it’s like every girl’s imagination! Forever 21, by far, was the longest shop I was in. H & M… had awesome accessories and they had a line going outside of it because too many people were in it. What a fun fulfilled day!

Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes…
Pop’s Concert was such a joy. May 29^th, 2006 was Mp’s Pop’s concert! It was so much fun singing songs from rent and learning the notes. From all the sectionals and all the practicing after school it was all worth it in the end. Much props to my dear friend Cyrus who did an amazing job singing, he is such a crowd pleaser! Every time he would sing, I swear my eyes were watery and I could have sworn I was tearing up. Haha. My girls, the sopranos did awesome too! What a fun night, I had some of my choir fans there, thanks for going Ghostbusters, Mi familia was there, Johnny’s parent were there…it was great seeing them as always, and Two of my awesome co-workers Leah and Josh ( I miss him) were there too! It’s kinda late on notice…but thanks for all of those who came to watch me sing and came to watch MP’s choir and band perform. We rocked out there!

“I’m walking on sunshine…” Swing kids Club.
Multicultural Festival was a success! Me and my awesome partner, Maynard did fantastic! Although we forgot some moves, we did pretty well. Both rallies went well and the night performance went well too! My bro and mom went, including some Ghostbusters, and My boyfriend went to see me perform too…geez, he got me good! Haha. I’m not gonna lie, but having practice at lunch for swing dancing sucked, but practicing during all those damn lunches was well worth it. Being an officer for this club this year was fun and I look forward to next year’s performance! Oh yeah I’m officially the new Vice President for Swing Kid’s club next year, our new officers are great…it’s gonna be a great group next year…Drama Free baby! Much props to Ms. Henry for being a great advisor, Great Job to Maynard for being an awesome partner for the past two years (Next year we’re gonna Rock, look out for us), and most of all… Amazing job to Linda Nguyen for being an awesome President, without her Swing wouldn’t be as great as it was. I can’t wail till next year, it’s gonna Super Dooper Cool! Sign up next year, because the more the people, the funnier it is.

To be missed is one thing, but missing them is another…
Sac town Van Le was in San Jose! Woot-woot! Boy was I happy to see her. She looked so pretty from the last time I saw her! I wished she could have slept over mi casa just like last time…but being able to see her was good enough for me. So Van was in town including Nina…and it was good seeing both of them! Me and Van went to the movies and we saw She’s the Man! Channing Tatum was in it and he was a Soccer player. Enough said. <3 haha. I also got to see San Diego Andre Lopez just last week! I was so happy to see him. The last time I saw him was a about a year and half ago when he came back down in San Jose to visit! If only he stayed at Mt. pleasant, it would have been fun! It was so good seeing him…I missed him. We went to Starbizzle and had a nice conversation. There’s so much to catch up with me and him…I can’t wait until he comes back to San Jose to visit again. P.S. Andre is soon to have his myspace pimped out…haha. K.I.T.

“There's a place off Ocean Avenue…” “Sugar, we're going down swinging…”
Concerts, Concerts, & more Concerts. Fall out boy, All American Rejects, Hawthorne Heights, From First to Last, & The Hush Sounds! Hella Fun…Mosh pits and getting all sweaty…It was all freaking worth it. So...like two weeks ago…Me, Tina, Lucy, Kimberly, Kathleen, Kathleen’s friend, Pk, & Kimberly’s cuzzo, all went to the Sold out Fall Out Boy concert! It was hella fun, me, Tina, And Lucy came so close to going in the concert before it started. Sneaking in was hella fun…we came so close until one of the staff members saw us and kicked us out…damn Bluecoat! Haha! Overall All American Rejects was my favorite band there, they were so Good. Fall Out Boy weren’t as good live as they were! I even Crowd Surf my ass out since it was getting too hot in the damn most pits. Wednesday night was a fun night…got home around midnight because of the stupid traffic getting out! Oh yeah, Just yesterday I went to the Yellowcard concert with Tina, Alex, Timmy, Beya, Elizabeth, Ricardo, Ricardo’s sister, Andrew, and Kim (Bro’s best Friend). It was hella fun! I got the front row! That’s right bitches waiting in line for those long hours pay off to get the front railings! I swear I could have felt Ryan’s sweat fall on me…haha, j/k! So yeah …me and Tina got the front because I jumped to front right when the lights went down and Tina had to fight her way for the front…of course she won. Stupid damn Azn girls behind were being bitches and the girl next to Tina wanted to start a fight because she wanted to start something and obviously wanted “to end it!” It was just one of those things that you had to be there to see it.haha! Oh yeah…me and Tina almost got in before the concert even started. We snuck in and made it inside the building, hid in the bathroom for like 20 mins…but eventually we got kicked out because the damn lady from the event center knew we were here for the concert so she told us to leave! Sneaking in was hella fun, that’s the closes me and Tina have ever gotten in our life! So after the concert, most of the people left…but me and Tina got to see Pete from Yellowcard, he signed my arm, ticket and took a picture with me and Tina! Oh yeah…I also caught Over it’s guitar pick & Set List, Mae’s Drumstick & guitar pick, and Pete gave me his Guitar pick, but before he did, he licked it! =] Me and Tina also got pictures with My Formal Self and got their autographs. Afterwards, Tina dropped my and my brother home around 1:00 am after eating at Denny’s with everyone. That was one freaking Fun night, goodtimes with everyone! I had a blast…that was by far one of the best concerts I have ever been too! Next Concert: The Fray!

Jessica’s birthday bash at Red Robin…
What a great way to celebrate a birthday…turning 17, got a car ready and set for her, and getting a job at the place you mostly get your clothes from. Yup…Jessica’s one lucky girl! Jessica’s Birthday thang at Red Robin was fun! It was fun celebrating Jessica’s birthday! Yay…she’s 17, one more year until she’s an official adult! Crazy right? It was fun taking pictures with everyone and taking pictures with the ladies. I hope the best for her and I hope she liked the balloons and the card me and my sis got for her. Her hat from Workmen’s is on its way. That was a fun day, because before I went to Jessica’s bash…I visited my best friend Christopher Jacob Agutos. It was good seeing him and hanging out with him for a little bit. I just wanted to go to his house to give him a nice visit…but it ended being a war when I visited him. Haha! Psh...he’s taller than me now…so he thinks he can kick my ass…Wrong! Haha, Asshole started hitting me with the pillow…but eventually I kicked his ass, Like always! Goodtimes…with the bestest! I’m gonna get him back for spitting on my car. Love ya chris…whore! haha.

"The Sadie Hawkins Dance, in my khaki pants, There's nothing better…oh oh oh!” –Relient k
Sadie’s was Hecka fun! I had so much fun going to the dance. I asked, of course, my boyfriend to the dance and we had a blast. Our fits were freaking cool and we looked good! I just wished there were photography there at the dance…weird that they didn’t have it for Sadie’s this year. The dance went by too fast and the lights went on at the very last 10 minutes of the dance! There was no last song because Mr. V. made everyone leave before the dance was even over! The Dj, Jovan Ortiz did an awesome job at the dance and he played pretty good music. Lots of the Ghostbusters went too! Everyone went and everyone looked good. Sadie Hawkin Dance 2006 was fun because I got to go with my amazing boyfriend Johnny, who I might add, can dance. Hehe. =]

My L. O. V. E. is like Whoa!
Me and Johnny have been together for almost half a year! =] Our relationship is going strong and I feel so comfortable around him! I finally got the nerves to tell my mom that he’s my boyfriend! She won’t admit to it, but she so knows that’s he’s my boyfriend and I don’t think she mines because she really likes him. I really like him too. He’s the boyfriend that any girl can ask for. He’s amazing and sweet and I love hanging out with him every chance I get to. Last Saturday we went out on our date and it was so much fun!! We went to Church to see a play, then to the movies to see Take a Lead (I recommend you everyone to go watch it), and then off to downtown to go get some Desert. It was a fun, romantic night and he was a gentlemen. It was cool that my mom didn’t mine me going out with just me and him. I had fun hanging out with just me and Johnny<3 I love him.

School is Cool, when you make it Cool…
School is so hard! Jr. year is killing me! I hate it so much, but it’s almost done with! =] yay! AP test, SAT’s testing is coming up, Star testing is happening right now, I feel like giving up…but I can’t because I’ve gone too far to give up. It’s like you go to school since you were in Kindergarten and then you wait until your sr. just to go to that one college you dreamed about going to. I get nervous sometimes…because I’m not sure I am gonna make it to the college that I want to attend to. I know that I just have to have confidence in myself, do all my homework, be involved, and try really hard in school. FOCUS. By the way, Mr. K’s class is beginning to get harder and harder as the year progresses. That class is the hardest class I have ever taken in my whole life…but I’m hanging in there, right John Ngo? Haha. John Ngo, has helped me the most in school this year. He is so nice to dedicate his time to help me study in math and I thank him for that. On the hand, Fantastics is coming up. I wanna do it, but I don’t if I have time. I’ll start going to practice real soon if I want to be in it. It’s weird how I was so involved in school my whole life, but as Jr.Year came around all I did was focus only in my classes. I wish I was still an officer for my class, I wish I can run for asb next year…But I can’t because of the rules in the constitution. Not being able to run for asb next year kills me the most. From being a freshmen and seeing all the ASB  people do their thing, made me want to run for ASB my senior year, it’s a dream…but now I can’t and it just makes me sad not being able to do something you dreamed of doing since the beginning of high school. On the good note, I donated blood recently. It was cool, and I finally weighed just enough to give blood. It’s always good to help those in need, and after giving blood I felt good about myself. Also, Ghostbusters rock! I just wanna say thank you to you guys for making my Jr. Year less stressful and leaving me with great memories for my high school years. I can’t wait until Prom, it’s gonna fun going to prom with the entire Ghostbusters group. Thanks to all you guys for always going to my meeting and thanks for making my Jr. Year a blast. Lets KIT and stick together for our last year; Sr. year. Let’s make the best out of it Ghostbusters!

Well…I think I have written a little too much. I hoped you all enjoyed reading my life and I’ll make sure to be updated and post more pictures. I hope everyone is doing well in school, Keep it up and never give up on anything. Oh yeah…Please be nice to others, don’t do drugs, don’t litter, say thank you more often, Smile because it makes the world a little better, and remember to think positive in life. Have an awesome day everyone. God bless.

No Day But Today.

    Hey guys & gals! It’s been two months long since I’ve written a blog in my xanga! How’s everyone doing? Well the past two months I’ve been busy, busy, and busy! I feel sick, tired, weak, & dizzy right now and so today I missed school! Blah. I missed a test and a lesson in math, which I know are gonna kill me when I come back to school tomorrow. =/ My mom is making me take Dayquil pills, which are like the biggest pills in the world! How I hate being sick! Anywho…this past two months has been crazy!

School is cool: I’m officially a high school dropout, and I’m going to beauty school! Just kidding! School has been ridiculously hard and not to mention finals and SAT testing is coming up! The madness I tell you! Math is killing me, Mr. K’s class is so freaking hard, but I’m hanging in there! On the lighter note, Prom and Sadies are coming up! Yay! I’m thrilled and damn excited. I dreamed about prom since I was a little girl, watching all the chick flicks of boys and girls going to prom, having fun. Sadies is going to be fantastic too, this year is going to be different…you’ll just have to wait and see. =] My date for prom and Sadies? Who’s it gonnna be? Haha, common sense…of course it’s gonna be my loving boyfriend…Johnny! =] Oh, and I bought my prom dress too! You’ll never guess where I bought it; I’m pretty sure no one at Mt. Pleasant is going to have to same prom dress as me!

High school Musical: Something that I always wanted to do, it’s my passion, something that will bring back memories when I think back to high school when I’m older. I love to dance, sing, & even acting, although I’ve never been in Drama class. I’m in my High school’s musical…and it takes up a shitload of my time. The musical is a rendition of many of the musical Movies, such at Chicago, Bye Bye Birdie, Grease, Etc. I have a duet with one of my Friend, Ashley,  and we are singing a song from the movie West Side Story! I’m eager to sing it and learn the notes for it. =] Even though it’s always been a dream of mine to be in a musical, I might not do it because if my grades are slipping then I would have to give it up…so until now, I just gotta multitask. Focus in school while practicing for the musical.

Volleyball (Mai Kai Lani 18’s Area): Practices on Sundays and sometimes on Wednesday. It sometime takes up my time, mostly on Wednesday, when I have Musical from 3-5 and practice from 7-9, then gotta go shower, then do hella homework, READ, and still study for a test that determines my grade. Yes, that has happen to me, but still, Volleyball is such a fun sport, I enjoy every second of it. We just recently had a tournament like 3 weeks ago, and the position that I played throughout the whole tournament was outside hitter! =] Yup…Flora Nguyen played OUTSIDE HITTER! I wish my coach was there, she would have been proud of me. Although I really wanted to play Defense because that is the position that I really wanted to stick with so that when I tryout for varsity next year, my coach can see how much I improve in that position throughout the year. I want to make my coach proud, and joining Club Volleyball is all worth it, even if it takes up my time. No regrets whatsoever. =] P.S. I love the girls on my team, we all get along like peanut butter and Jelly.

Who you going call GHOSTBUSTERS: Drama Free is the way to be! Diverse, unique, Real, & so much more. A group of High school kids who loves to have fun in high school, watching out for each other’s back while still focusing in school. A good crowd of kids who are spirited and always support each other. I love the Ghostbusters. Each and everyone one of them. Recently some of us went camping at Sunset Beach! And that by far is the best break ever! 3 days, 4 Nights with the greatest friends ever: Drama free, relaxing and nothing to worry about because it felt like you were free. Free from the city, free from you parents, free from anything that worries you. The camping trip is just what I needed to relieve my stress. I had a blast going camping, while still being able to go see my boyfriend play basketball and baseball. Capitola is stunning and skim boarding and surfing was awesome! From waking up in the morning to the sunrise and birds chirping to having late night bonfires and playing crazy games such as vampire and Telephone, to telling jokes and playing night tag, to having visitors drop by to hang out with us for one night, to the good times and the great memories…CAMPING WITH THE GHOSTBUSTER was probably one of the greatest times I had in high school. Next up, spring break, SLO and Pismo anyone? =]

I la la la Love my Boyfriend: High school Love! I’m in that stage right now and I’m loving it! =] I have the greatest boyfriend in the world, and I’m not talking about Orlando Bloom (haha)…I’m talking about Johnny Sandate! <3 I’m happy whenever I see him, it’s like when you have a crush on someone and you get all happy when the guy you have a crush on just passes by or just says hi to you and you want to faint…well I still feel like that. =] I’ve been with my boyfriend for a couple of months and I still talk about him like it’s the first day that we got together. I can’t help but stop talking about him, it’s crazy. And I’m pretty sure that many of my friends are getting annoyed about me talking about him 24/7 and I don’t blame them for getting annoyed because I’ll admit it…I can’t keep my mouth shut. Haha! I swear everything that I think about has to relate to him! Okay enough about this lovely dovey stuff. You & Me. So on Valentine’s Day… I went out with my boyfriend and we went double dating with Alex and Anthony! It was enjoyable and I loved it! Although Valentine’s Day is a day don’t I really like, spending my day with Johnny…made me change my view about Valentines Day. Thanks for everything Babe, you rock my world! =] haha.

Family Matters: Dang, I’ve been going up to too many family party or gathering. Heck yeah…I love eating oyster with my family and telling stupid jokes to my uncle! Haha. LOVE IT! I have a newborn cousin and his name is Ashton! There are hella babies up in this family and I love all of them. =] My grandma is sick…and I never have time to visit her, I was gonna go up this weekend but… I have a volleyball tournament on Sunday and work all day on Saturday. I hope she is doing well. I miss my cousin from LA; I haven’t seen him in awhile! Let’s see… my sister is still the annoying sister since day 1, my mom is still the strictest mom ever, although she has been less strict and just a little bit more understanding, and my brother is still the best brother in the world that any sister could ask for. I <3 MI FAMILIA. Oh and by the way…I hate people that don’t keep their promises…I made him promise me three times…and he broke it, that’s nothing new. I just made a fool out of myself for having such high hopes, I should have known.

ENJOY!

Wow...It's been way too long since I wrote in here. I think it's been almost a month! December is by far one of my craziest months ever! I'm super busy! Anyways...this month has been too much fun, yet too much drama. Yup, HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA! Forreals though, I think drama is stupid, but it happens to everyone. Wait, I don't even think its high school drama; it's more like Jr. high Drama. Blah...I hate it. Well time for me to go on subject and Vent!

Dude, my family keeps on getting into arguments, and more arguments...well it's more like my mom. I don't know why...but she is too stressed out for her own good, I just wish she can take a breath for one second, calm down, and relax. She puts all of her anger on me whenever she's mad at Lucy or whenever she is stressed out. It tends too get me mad when she does that, but I try not to get mad because I know she's super stressed out. Usually I just sit down and think to myself, "Here we go again, mom's gonna start yelling at me for no apparent reason," and all I do is try to ignore it. But what gets me mad is when she'll say something stupid or brings up something from the past...then that gets me mad, mostly when she brings up my dad...ugh. And my mom thinks I'm always talking back to her...every little thing I say, is talking back to her. I think when she's in her moody mad mode; she thinks everything I say can be talking back to her. I can be saying..."OKAY MOM!" and she'll get all mad at me! I seriously think that my family needs "family therapy!" My mom is constantly yelling, my mom yells at my sis and me, me and my sis always get into stupid fights, my sis yells at my brother, it’s just nonstop yelling, fighting, and bitching. The only person that I can actually talk to is my Brother. He’s the only one in the family who actually understands me, I would think my sister would understand me the most, but right now she's in her own little world. Gosh, it's Christmas season, why can't everyone just be happy. I love my family, they're the greatest, but I'm not gonna lie, I can't wait until I get outta of my house and live on my own.

    I just hope when I go to college I am able to get outta of the house and explore. My mom says that she still wants my to live here with her, but honestly I want experience the college life, and if I am still living with my mom then that won't be happening. She said she'll treat me like a college kid, but I know she won't because my brother is in college, he lives with us, and my mom aint she treating him as a college kid. And if I do go to school in San Jose, I still wanna move out, I was talking to my brother and I told him that we should move in an apartment together in San Jose if I got to school here, and he doesn't actually mind living with his own sister. =] So yeah... about a year and a half until college and I'm pretty damn excited! haha.

    Guess what everyone? I've been going to lots of basketball games! I love watching basketball...and I'm getting the rules too! haha. It's fun because I get to watch Johnny play. Geez he's really good, I mean REALLY good at basketball! He's an all-star, GO NUMBER 30! haha =]. Since everyone is always asking how we're doing, then I might as well just write it in here, we're doing GREAT! =] I'm happy that he's my boyfriend and he makes me smile. I know that just sounded so corny, but literally, I smile A LOT when I'm with him. And I met his family, and his Family is Awesome, I love his parents! As Jovan would say, The Sandate's are the Mexican Brady bunch. =]

    D-R-A-M-A, what does that spell? DRAMA! Have your ever done nothing mean to anyone, and all you ever did was be nice to them...but in the end, all they do is gossip and talk shit about you. Yeah, that's happening to me. It's funny how people can gossip and say stuff when they don't think I can know about it. Well here's a little tip for everyone, if you're gonna ever talk shit about anyone, make sure you don't say it around people that knows the person...DUH, cause in the end the person you talk shit about is gonna find out from the person that was around when you guys were taking shit. I'm not gonna lie, but I hang out with this huge group of people, and we so call our self "the ledgers." But within the group there are cliques and then when there are cliques everyone doesn’t talk to each other, and I'm just being real... It tends to be BORING over there at the ledge. I'm pretty sure a lot of people that hang out at the ledge thinks it's boring too. High school is when you find who your real friends are. And I'm beginning too see who they are. Just last year things began to change between "the ladies," but honestly I didn't mind because change could be for better or worse. An it actually changed for better because some of us started hanging out with different people, but no one was sad or mad, everyone was actually happy. But then this year things really grew apart and things really changed. I didn't want to lose touch with a certain someone because I didn't want to lose 5 years of goodtimes. But we began hanging out with different people and things just start changing and I felt wired. So what I did was call up that person and try to reconnect and keep in touch...but unfortunately it didn't work out. So now things are different.... way different. I did my part already...I tried to keep in touch and everything but nothing seems to happen. And I'm not sad or anything, it just sucks because all those goodtimes seems like it gonna just go down the drain. It just sucks when people are talking shit about me right in front of her face and she doesn’t say anything to back me up. But who cares right? Because there's nothing else I can do, I've already tried to talk things out with her and I tried keeping in touch with her, but life is life and this is High school

    On the other hand...I have my Non Drama Free friends that are simple and liked to just have fun in life! They don't make things complicated and they make my life fun and easier. I LOVE THE GHOSTBUSTERS...and what's best about it ...is the Ghostbusters are a bunch of cool people, including my bestest Alex and Jess and the boyfriend. Drama free is the way to be. The coolest thing about the Ghostbusters is that they're always up for inviting anyone to hang out with us, they don't mind inviting different people to hang out with us, and they’re carefree and down to earth. That's why the people that I hangout with right now are so diverse and are willing to let anyone come chill with us. =]

    Christmas is so exciting...I can't wait. Whoo-hoo. I love the Christmas season! Tis' the season to be Jolly! I can't wait to open presents and see all my cuzzos and my cuz from LA! I can't wait to see my relatives and bake cookies and eat, eat, eat. I LOVE CHRISTMAS. Just one more day until Christmas Eve.
